Description by WatchTeam(from Google Play)
JellyWatch Player turns your Jellyfin or Emby server into a real home cinema on Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV — and a polished streaming app on your Android phone and tablet.
JELLYFIN AND EMBY — ONE APP FOR EVERY SCREEN
Connect to a Jellyfin or Emby server. The server type is detected automatically — just sign in as usual. Emby accounts get full access to libraries, Continue Watching, Live TV and recording timers. Jellyfin-exclusive features (Skip Intro, Trickplay, SyncPlay, remote subtitles, theme songs) are gracefully hidden on Emby.
KIDS PROFILE
Create a dedicated Kids profile with a colorful home screen, poster cards, hero banner and Fredoka rounded font. Choose from three color themes. A parental PIN locks all exits from Kids mode. Content filtering is handled by your Jellyfin server user policy.
LINKED PROFILES — MULTIPLE SERVERS, ONE HOME SCREEN
Link accounts from different Jellyfin servers. Continue Watching, Next Up and Recently Added merge into one unified home screen. Each profile keeps its own watch history and preferences.
HOME ASSISTANT CINEMA MODE
Connect your Home Assistant instance to automate your smart home. Lights dim on Play, come back on Pause. One script per event: play, pause, stop. Fully local — no cloud required.
THE BEST PLAYER FOR EVERY SCREEN

FIND THE RIGHT SUBTITLE IN SECONDS

READ YOUR EBOOK LIBRARY
Browse your Jellyfin book library and read EPUB ebooks on any screen. Full-screen reader with dark, light and sepia themes, adjustable font size and D-pad / touch page turning.
PLAY YOUR MUSIC LIBRARY
Browse albums, artists, genres and playlists. Music keeps playing in the background when you navigate away — a mini-player lets you browse while audio continues uninterrupted. A media foreground service keeps the session alive so the system never kills the audio. 10-band equalizer with real-time presets. FLAC 5.1/7.1 surround delivered as Dolby Digital Plus over HDMI ARC/eARC automatically. Stats for Nerds overlay shows codec, channels and delivery mode.

★★★★☆Vladislavs Perkaņuks· Jul 14, 2026
All good, but only subtitles look awful with no customizations available e.g. background color, font size etc
★★★★☆Ittipol Nuntaruji· Sep 21, 2026
Please add function select layout (Mobile/Tablet/Android TV). I want to use android tv version in tablet (with joystick)
★★★★★giorga modebadze· Oct 25, 2026
It really is the best Jellyfin player—available on every device and packed with every feature imaginable. Updates are frequent, and they keep adding even more. The developer is insanely responsive; bugs and feature requests are addressed in hours or even minutes. I asked for Georgian language support as likely the only Georgian user, and they added it quickly and flawlessly
★☆☆☆☆Hacker Marin· Sep 29, 2026
When you put TV in branding of your app make sure it does work with Android TV. Not all Tvs are touchscreen and not all remotes have a mouse mode.
★☆☆☆☆Derk P· Aug 14, 2026
I can't love how this app functions not well. Browse all functions like I am sure the developer unintended.
★☆☆☆☆Grant Haroway· Aug 11, 2026
They dodge their own (vibe coded) website FAQ question: “Is it secure?” “Jelly Watch connects directly to the Jellyfin server provided by the user. Access and permissions depend on the Jellyfin server configuration and the account used.” 11/8/26 That is a complete non-answer. It says nothing about whether Jelly Watch is secure; it just dumps responsibility on the user’s Jellyfin configuration. “Is it secure?” Apparently they cannot even say it's encrypted! Don't treat your clients like fools.
